I don’t think the K-ent landscape has changed dramatically for K-actor Joo Won in the nearly two years he’s been away serving his military service. He already experienced the steep drop off in ratings for prime time dramas and the emergence of cable as a new force to be reckoned with, but returning last month he is re-entering entertainment at … Continue reading →
Winter is done and with the arrival of spring there seems to be some spring cleaning in K-ent. Last week it was Suzy leaving longtime agency JYP after 9 years, and this week Girl’s Day‘s Hyeri is coming to the end of her contract with agency Dream T and is confirmed not to re-sign. She is reportedly looking to join … Continue reading →
K-actor Seo Kang Joon has gotten really good reviews for his most recent dramas Are You Human, Too and The 3rd Charm but I passed on both. I think he needs an even more serious type drama breakout much like Nam Joo Hyuk did recently with the incredible and heartwarming The Light in Your Eyes (Dazzling). This upcoming project might … Continue reading →
tvN wrapped up Wed-Thurs romance drama Touch Your Heart this Thursday and sending off the cute couple of Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na makes way for pulled from manhwa pages couple Park Min Young and Kim Jae Wook in Her Private Life.

While the Burning Sun illegal activities allegations spread, there’s the other central investigation into a phone text chatroom with K-celebs sharing hidden camera photos and videos of unwitting women being secretly filmed. Today Seoul police booked Seungri for sharing hidden camera sex videos, adding him to the other two booked so far Jung Joon Young and Choi Jung Hoon. Choi … Continue reading →
If hips don’t lie then many if not all netizens would like to think our eyes don’t lie. That’s why speculation about possible surgical procedures or enhancements done by stars countered by the denials of she/he who doth protest too much always ring hollow. Sure one can never know for certain but it’s hard to believe it’s all just a … Continue reading →
The Burning Sun nightclub scandal involving Big Bang member Seungri has now added a new criminal activity that went on there. To keep track there was drugging, sexual assault, hidden camera recordings in VIP rooms, and tax evasion. You can now add money laundering to the list courtesy of suddenly the most famous tacky rich tai tai in Asia the … Continue reading →
This is a smaller-ish casting news or now lack thereof casting news for an upcoming K-drama. I got all excited last month with actor-singer Eric (Moon) was in talks for a K-drama return with a fantasy romance role in Perfume. It’s the story of a woman who loses it all getting a second chance at love and the man who … Continue reading →
I’ll take it if the type of negative news from K-ent is merely a collective grenade of ugly fashion exploding in Seoul. It beats the real stomach churning stories in recent weeks and the entertaining part from fashion fails is how collective it happens with K-stars. At the Gucci event this past weekend, Cha Seung Won led a contingent of … Continue reading →
Woah, this is big news. K-actress and idol singer Suzy has announced that she won’t be renewing her contract with JYP Entertainment when it expires on March 31 of this year. She’s been with the agency for 9 years since her debut at age 15. She was a member of Miss A which disbanded in late 2017 after other members … Continue reading →
I had a momentary pause in trying to describe the central fantasy premise of upcoming jTBC drama Abyss. It’s neither soul-nor-body swapping because leads Park Bo Young and Ahn Hyo Seob merely turn into different looking versions of themselves, I think? She’s a knock out beautiful prosecutor played by Kim Sa Rang in a guest role who transforms into mousy … Continue reading →
Taiwan netizens are super embarrassed that one of their own is embroiled in the Seungri/Burning Sun club investigation scandal in South Korea.
